From the foregoing description, taken l'n connection with the aceon'lpanying rawing theeonstrxu-tion and ope 'ati'ouof the iure tion wilLbe readily'understood without 1 quiring a more extended explanation,

Various changes iu the form,-prop ort and the lpinor details of `construction?-may. be resorted'v to without departing-from the principle oi' rsacrificing any 'of the'alvan l,tages of the invention as defined in the apf pended claims.

./- Having thus described. my invention,- what;v

I claim as' new and desire-to secure yjLet-'i f ters-Pateut,'s: Y. 1. In a machine ofthe characterdescribe a supporting "base, a' turntable rci-olulo'ly mounted-thereon, .-water' and airfdischaging heads carried ibysaid.'.turntable,jn'iea'lr'lV whereby water.: and air :areseparately plied to said heads, .means ,whereb theo tlesl .to be' Washed are supporte .onf a1 heads, and means wherebypstreams of iyaj ter and. compressedV air are; simultaneously injected intzol said bottles -to cleanse andi-M rinse the saine. l2. In a m'achineof the eharacterdescnlbed, v a supporting base, a turntable revolubly mounted thereon, a series of Water and air discharging heads carried by said turntable;- said headscomprising a water compartment and an Aair compartment, means whereby wa- 'ter and air areV su plied to the respective ncompartments, disc arging tubes arranged on said heads, meansto support the bottles on said tubes, and air dischargingnipples arranged in said air compartment below each of said tubes, whereby` a current of compressed air is discharged through each said water compartment forced thereby into A s'aid bottles to cleanse and rinse the same.

3. In a bottle Washing machine, a series of' combined water -and air discharging heads, said heads havingseparate water and air compartments, aV series of discharge tubes connected with said water compartment and adapted to be insertedinto' the bottles to be washed, `a rack to' hold said bottles in -position on said tubes,'a series of air-injecting nipples connected -with said air compartment and adapted to forc currents of compressed air -through said discharge tubes and to thereby force a stream of'water from said water compartment' through each of said tubes and to forcibly inject said water into the bottles, and `means to regulate the supply of water and the pressure 'o f air to said discharge heads.

,4i In a machine of the character described, a supporting base, a turntable revolubly mounted on said base, means whereby said table is revolved, an annular supporting platearranged on said turntable, a series of combined water and air discharging heads arranged on said plate,'separate water and airA com artments in said heads, water and A- air supp y pipes arranged through said turntable, branchV water and air pipes to connect said supply pipes with the water andair compartments in said heads, mea-ns whereby the water is forcibly ejected from said wa tercompartment by the compressed air from said air compartment, and means whereby said. compressed air and wateris supplied to the bottles to cleanse the same.

.5. In a bottle washingmachine, a supportin base, a -turntable revolubl mounted on sai base, means whereby sai turn-table l partments on t is revolved, a series lof combinedwater and l` 1ojecting through said turntable, inde ntwater and alr come Upper ends of said pipes,- valved branch Water'and air su ply pipes connecting said. distributing heads with respectively waterA and air .compartmentswhereby the water and air is ke t'separated until discharged, means in said lileads whereby the air i-n said air compartment is caused to forcibly eject thewater from said water compartment into the bottles, whereby the latter are thoroughly cleansed onthelr inner sides, and means to support a lurality of bottles in position Aon said heats toreceive the Water and air dischargedthere from.

6. In a bottle washing machine, a series of combined water and air discharging heads having separate water and air compartments, discharge tubes connected to said water compartment, and air discharging nipples' connected with said air compartment whereby a current of air discharged therefrom will force a stream of water from said water compartment into said bottles.

7. In a' bottle washing machine, a series of hollow combined water and air discharging heads having separate water and air compartments, discharge tubes connected to said water compartments, air discharging nipples connected with said air compartment below said water discharging tubes whereby a stream of water is forced'through said tubes'v from said water compartment, means whereby water and air are respectively supplied to said compartments, and means to regulate said watekand air supply. v

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two sgbscribing witnesses.
